Influence of meteorological factors, snow properties and climatic changes on evaporation from the snow cover surface

Abstract

The contribution of evaporation from the surface of the snow cover to the water balance of the land surface is a little-studied area of hydrology. Th e growing relevance of these studies increases with climate warming and more active involvement of the snow-covered territories and glaciers in global water processes.
